Well, there is a lot to be said about these 4 guys (and most of it has already been said, here and in other places..)

Let it be (I think Phil Spector ruined this producion)

The Let It Be Naked CD released recently has the original recordings without the Phil Spector mixes-It's much better!

Wow, two years since anyone posted in this thread! I think there must be another Beatles thread somewhere.

Anyway, just a brief note to say that the Internet has a brand new Beatles forum, for European fans - Dig It. I know TNMS has a few Beatles fans, so if you'd like to turn up and take part (we don't have a lot of contributions so far!) please do.

Cheers Slim, I will take a look at that !

You have to admire Lennon and McCartney as songwriters, but the Beatles music has never done anything for me, sorry. I've always tended to think that the Beatles were in the right place, at the right time.

John Lennon wasn't on 8 December 1980.

As a live band The Beatles were probably at their snarling, vicious peak during their last few Hamburg stints. Admittedly the songs weren't the best, but according to eye-witnesses, they used to tear through their rock n' roll-heavy sets, zoned out on booze and/or uppers ;D

Yes, by all accounts it appears they were more 'punk' than punk bands themselves some twenty years later...!

Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if Epstein had never descended those stairs down to The Cavern in 1961 to see them play...
